This car has about 9,000 miles on it and it now has issues with the steering wheel sticking and jerking when it gets above ~50mph. It feels difficult to keep between the lines on the highway because the steering is not functioning as it used to. So much that the car flagged a warning as -??driver attention low-?? and recommended I take a break. My attention was incredibly high because of the steering issue but I could not keep the wheel from jerking in small increments back and forth. This is now happening every time I get above 50mph.

The steering sticks while trying to keep the car driving in a straight motion. The speed doesn't seem to matter. It feels as if the steering wheel is constantly fighting me. Sometimes it makes me drift towards other cars next to me while I'm fighting to keep it center.

Steering gets -??stuck-?? during highway driving, requiring extra effort to move. This happens in curves and straight line driving. The issue is worse in colder temperatures, and has become more prominent with more miles.

For the past few months, my car has been experiencing a recurring issue with the steering wheel feeling inexplicably stuck. This concern poses a severe safety risk as it occurs almost every time I'm behind the wheel. Whether I'm driving on the highway or in the city, attempting to make slight adjustments to the left or right results in the steering wheel becoming rigid, demanding additional force to maneuver. This scares me as it can lead to an inability to avoid a hazard on the road. This increased force often leads to an over-adjustment, causing the vehicle to veer more than intended, a hazardous situation, especially on the highway. Driving my car has become an alarming experience, and I find myself feeling extremely anxious each time I take it out on the road. Upon conducting thorough research, I discovered that many other owners have faced a similar issue. Notably, the Honda Civic, which shares several components with the Acura Integra, has previously undergone a recall for this exact problem.

Steering gets -??sticky-?? or -??notch-?? feeling sometimes.

- Fishers, IN, USA

When driving I-??ve noticed small catches that happens when I am driving. For example If I am traveling in a straight line for a few seconds and have to make a correction( i.e. going around a corner) in my steering, the steering wheel requires a little more effort in order for the car to adjust the direction of travel. My car has 8,44 miles.

Steering feels sticky at times. As in, more effort is needed than normal to turn the wheel past a certain point. Most prevalent on the highway where the problem is consistent from 50-65mph. Has been occurring the last couple weeks. Currently at 7,149 miles.

Steering wheel began sticking when centered/driving straight, which causes a momentary increase in steering effort. This began around 7,500 miles. The steering wheel, when centered, resists movement in both a counterclockwise and clockwise direction. Firm movement will dislodge it, resulting in a "jerk" in the direction of the turn. The movement required to dislodge it is significantly more firm/forceful than the movement required to turn the steering wheel after dislodging it. The issue is noticeable at a stop, but becomes more pronounced at higher speeds. The Miami Acura service department told me "there is nothing we can do" and that they are "waiting for Acura to tell us what to do because there are a lot of other people with the same issue".

Steering becomes sticky & jerky, especially at highway speeds. The usual smoothness disappears & you have to work against it to make mild corrections you normally wouldn-??t even notice. I have thought this for many months now, but it was sporadic & caused me to question if I was just being overly sensitive. But I recently updated the audio system per the wireless updates, and today, the steering -??stickiness-?? was egregious. It was pouring rain & that type of jerky motion made it very unsafe to drive. On my way home from work today, the stickiness was gone for the first leg of my trip. Then when I turned on the car to finish the second leg, the stickiness had returned as bad as it was this morning (although no longer raining). CarPlay & even the FM radio also seem to malfunction now as well. I called Acura earlier today & have made a service appointment for 12/27/23, the first opening they had available.

The contact owns a 2023 Acura Integra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and turning the steering wheel to the right or to the left, the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that upon turning the steering wheel to the intended position, the steering wheel pulled out of the intended position and seized. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was test-driven, and the dealer informed the contact that no failure was found. A software update for the EPS system was performed; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,200.

When driving, particularly at highway speeds, the steering will stick and get tight, it makes the car difficult to maintain in the lane and requires effort to regain control. It is a dangerous condition. It does not always do it and is sometimes worse than others. This began occurring within the first 1,000 miles, now at about 10,000 miles.

At highway speeds while traveling in straight lines, the steering becomes temporarily hard, almost sticky-feeling where even minor adjustments require unusual effort. The wheel feels like it's locked and with noticeable effort becomes unstuck, causing an over-correction. Only noticeable at highway speeds after driving for a while (engine warm).

- Aurora, IL, USA

Steering feel is for lack of a better term, sticky in its steering effort. Sometime is is very fluid, and other times it has more resistance. This can happen with a few seconds, or a few minutes. Sometimes the steering wants to pull to one side or the other, and I have to manually correct it. All steering assist features are turned off to verify that there is no computer related interaction affecting the steering feel and response. This happens in all three drive modes. Has manifested it self more as the weather got colder. Even at a stop light, the steering pressure will change, and I will feel more or less resistance in the steering wheel.

- Roslyn, PA, USA

While driving at highway speeds in a straight line, the steering wheel stiffens, and takes effort to adjust steering. Also, sometimes while driving at moderate speeds, the steering wheel gets stuck when taking long left turns and does not revert back to center without forcing it back to center with hands.

- League City, TX, USA

Sticky steering. After warm-up and driving, the steering -??catches-?? in curves and if not caught, it will stay in a turning position. Does this turning either direction and in any Driving Mode. Acura of North Austin refuses to look into it, stating, after driving it 5 miles over a 4-day period, they can-??t seem to replicate the issue and now refuses to work with me toward a solution. This steering issue has gradually become worse over time. I-??m afraid of the safety issue and unnecessary wear on the tires. Please help if at all possible!

Increased effort when you try to start rotating the steering wheel.

- Los Fresnos, TX, USA

Car has "sticky steering" issue. When turning the wheel, it feels as if the steering wheel sticks in places, and you need to apply more pressure to overcome the sticking before it turns. If it happens unexpectedly, could cause a jerky steering action in the car, which could potentially lead to an accident. This issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer - we have not taken it in yet. There are no warnings or lamps or anything.

When driving down the highway, trying to make small adjustments to keep the car in the lane, the steering wheel does not want to turn. When it does finally turn you can end up swerving. It has 12k miles and it has only started doing this the last 3-4 weeks. This car is only driven on the highway 55-70mph. Took it into the dealership and explained to them that it only happened on the highway. They took it out for a test drive in the city 35-45, so of course they were unable to repeat it and sent me on my way, without inspecting anything else. Driving down a back road highway could easily cause a head-on collision trying to force the steering wheel to move. There are no warnings of any kind when this occurs.
